Abstract
The present invention provides a caddy for holding and washing golf balls. The caddy includes a plurality of enclosure walls defining a cavity. At least one of the walls has openings allowing fluid to enter the cavity to clean the golf balls. Top and bottom openings are also provided to allow balls to be placed into and removed from the cavity, respectively. In one embodiment, the bottom opening is closed by a door to prevent balls from leaving the cavity. In a second embodiment, a deformable elongated opening retains the balls in the cavity. The opening can be deformed by the application of a force to allow balls to selectively be removed from the cavity. A connector is also provided to secure the caddy with a support structure.
